5500 miles on the oem Pirellis. I don't think I ever did a burnout either. I sawpped the tires for 275 nittos 555s and I now have 11500 and it still has another 1500-2000 more miles of life.

I am on my fifth set at 53000kms. First set 5500kms after 50 laps of Sandown Race Track. Now on Sumitomo. Had Pirelli and Goodyear F1s.

I did about 6000 miles if I recall right. The next set of T1R's went about 8000 miles. Michelin Pilot Sport AS+ went about 11k, just got a new set yesterday (for $60 a tire after the warranty replacement 
)

I managed about 8k on the rears and 12k on the fronts of the Pzeros.. and I tracked them, and drive like I stole it...
I got about 12k on the Conti rears I replaced them with.. but uhhh.. I was seeing the steel/composite reinforcing of the tires.. so I think I went a little too far with those.
I have Conti DWS all seasons now.. I am done with replacing tires every 10k or so (rather my wife is made at me for having to do it..) hopefully these will last at least 20 to 30k miles.

I managed to get 7200 miles out of the original Pirelli PZeros, that came on the car.

6600. My rears didn't have any threads, no wonder they felt like I was driving on racing slicks! Just replaced all four because I wanted to try the new Michelin Super Sports. So far, love them!

They typicaly last six months give or take, if it's your daily driver.
And that's if your nursing them along the way, no burn out.

4k on the rear Pzeros and i was at the wear bars. probaby could have nursed another 1k out of them.
so far i have 11K on the clock and the front Pzeros look about half worn. My rear Yoko Advids still look great probaby 80 percent left after 7k miles on them.

I nursed the hell out of mine just to get 7200 miles out of them.
Tariqc63, must have been smoking them, right out of the dealership parking lot to just get 1100 miles out of them. Your new name should be called SMOKE
